I'll second that...i've got a collapsed lung as proof for anyone who wants to argue...

You see that...that's a missing lung...and for the record...the collapse of the lung is painful as shit...but the re-inhalation of the lung hurts about <-------this-------> much more...

My buddy went through the same thing. Except they waited five hours before they decided he was in serious need of help. Gave him drugs, then immediately began cutting into his side to put the tube in, which took three tries. He felt everything, then the doctors forgot to turn the suction on for an entire day. He's suing the hospital.
